Positive Thoughts

After some major panic attacks about a month or so ago, I have been seeing a counsellor and attending a 'worry and anxiety' seminar once a week.

I saw my counsellor today and she told me that I should keep a diary or write down each day my thoughts and in particular my positive thoughts.

I have a book called "You Can't Afford The Luxury Of A Negative Thought' which is a very good book and I remember when I read that a long time ago it had a section about the same thing. Saying to keep a good thoughts diary.

So I've decided to use this blog as my 'good thoughts diary'. So you may read a load of crap some days because I'm just going to type my thoughts or my positive things that happened during the day.

You never know I may even put in some negative things too. Not that anyone wants to read negative things but my counsellor did say that it can be helpful to write those down too.

So my positives for today:

I bought a laptop - I have been waiting and saving for this laptop for so long its not funny. I'm still trying to work out how to use it all, but I've just about had enough for today, so I'm writing this post and then heading off to bed.

The kids have swimming at school this week. My youngest is 5 and just started school this term so this is his first time at swimming lessons. He loved it, he was so confident in the water they moved him up to a higher class - which was the class his older (7 yr old) brother is in. Which worked out good for me since both being in the same class made it easier for me to watch, I didn't have to walk back and forward between two classes.

The school takes them in 2 groups, the younger children first and the older children in the next group. So I was pretty much there all day, I had the youngest 2 in the first lot, then they left and my oldest one came then with the older group (he's 9).

Well that's about it for today, that was pretty much my whole day - laptop and swimming.

Thanks for reading, take care
